The Mixtape - 4 August 2007

My first show in a few weeks after I was off enjoying myself on holiday and at festivals. And I'd do it all again if it wasn't for this radio station ...

Played a new record from the Robocop Kraus due to be released later this year on their fifth studio album, Blunders and Mistakes. The band are definitely the best think to come out of Germany in a long time, and that's no mean feat when you consider their beer and sausages.

We almost had a bit of a request show thing going on today! Just as well really because I didn't bring much music in to play. It's the onset of summer, it just fried my brain ...
So thanks to Fuey in Hong Kong, Loca in Portsmouth, Linda (Pheonixx) in Lancs and Jimmy in Lismore, New South Wales for filling the empty schedule in my head.

Loca also got in touch to say "wow, i cn undastnd what u say. ther r sum british ppl (no offence) that i cnt undastnd a single word :(" Thanks, that's the nicest thing anyone said to me all day.
